The way you laugh –
It makes the world seem kinder.
The way you take time for me –
Makes me feel important.
The way you look at me –
It makes me feel beautiful.
But the way I feel
Leaves me scared…
I think you could make me do
Things I know are wrong.
With just a simple word from you
I would fall into your arms,
Leaving the past behind.
…that thought leaves me petrified.
